Re: Insurance Companies.....
Son was in an accident where other driver was completely at fault and cited. Our car was totaled. Other driver’s insurance is lowballing the value of the vehicle. Damn shame that all we are entitled to is the “value of the vehicle at the time of the accident” and have to go through hell just trying to get that!
Now I know why there are so many frivolous lawsuits after an accident.
Or....maybe that’s why insurance companies don’t want to pay out?
I don’t know....either way...you are required to pay them all your life and heaven forbid if they ever need to pay you for a claim.
Rant over.....I’m to the point where I am going to go against my morals and hire a lawyer....even if I lose money on the whole deal...simply on principle, now. Everything we had to pay out for a replacement vehicle above the value....yeah....simply not right for somebody else’s negligence.

Re: Insurance Companies.....
Don’t sign anything, make sure you have a copy of the police report as well as body camera footage, and contact a good lawyer. Sounds like you have a decent case

Re: Insurance Companies.....
I used to work in insurance. Insurance companies will do anything they can to wiggle out of settling a claim, that's how they make money. Don't sign anything and review your policy for language that could get you more indemnity. Request a copy of the insurance policy for the other party involved. Use the definitions pages the language is tricky for a reason. Try to rattle the adjusters cage. Watch out for Replacement Costs vs Actual Cash Value that's often where they'll get you.

Re: Insurance Companies.....
Troy, That is why I use Farm Bureau. When my vehicle was wrecked and it wasn’t my fault. Farm Bureau paid for the extensive repairs and rental cost that week and then went and get their money back from the other insurance. Some insurance companies are absolute frauds. Farm Bureau is not one of them. I put on average 35,000 to 38,000 miles a year on my vehicle. I need to stick with a good company. When my Gatortail was totaled, they paid me out rather quickly. Although it wasn’t exactly what I wanted, it was at least close enough to not get mad. They paid it and then went to the other insurance to get their money back.
